“Kelly kept our dogs safe and happy during our time away. She provided frequent updates, photos and videos so we could see our pups enjoying all of their daily activities with her. She was very quick to reply if we had any questions or concerns. She maintained our dogs’ regular schedule and they adjusted easily to their stay with Kelly without any issues. Her place is super clean so we weren’t worried about our dogs getting into anything dangerous. When our trip was unexpectedly cut short for reasons unrelated to the pups, Kelly took the initiative to contact Rover and modify our booking so we wouldn’t be charged for the days we originally booked but were no longer using. We will definitely book with Kelly again for our next trip!”
“Kathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Ivan was the best choice to watch Bella! He was quick to respond to the original request and was flexible in scheduling a time for the meet and greet. He provided pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day! He even taught Bella a new trick! I would highly recommend Ivan!”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Micaela, thank you so much for taking such great care of Sunny Sunshine! It was wonderful to have a little getaway, knowing that he was in your capable hands. Thanks again and happy holidays to you.”
“Thank you Mario for taking good care of Subie. Mario is passionate about keeping dog healthy; he made sure Subie had enough exercise and ate nutritious food.”
“Diana and Michael did a great job taking care of my dog for an extended stay. He was cared for and healthy. The sent lots of updates, pictures, and videos, and our dog was always playing with the family! We will probably have them watch him again.”
“Michael watched our dog, Atticus, for two days while I was out of town. He provided me with consistent updates with pictures and he walked her twice a day. Michael made us feel like Atticus was part of his family. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog. He went above and beyond!”
“I can not recommend James and his partner as pet sitters enough. They were responsive, professional, and accommodating. From the moment we booked, to the pick up; I felt genuinely safe and confident leaving my fur baby with James. My lil pup warmed up to them instantly and I knew she was in great hands. James sent a photo each day and when I picked up my dog she seemed happy and well cared for. Thank you for much James and Jas! I am so grateful and hope to re-book soon.”
“This has been the best Rover experience we’ve had! Lawrence and his wife gave my little fur baby so much love and care. They sent me updates about everything Roxy did during the day with cute pictures and videos of her playing outside and at the beach. They did literally all of Roxy’s favorite activities that were in her care info. My family loved seeing all of the updates and Roxy looking so happy and well taken care of. Roxy is sad saying goodbye to them! When we need care for Roxy again we will definitely be bringing her back. Thank you guys so much, you are awesome!”
“Leeeun was amazing! She was a great communicator and sent us lots of photos and daily updates, which we really appreciated. Our puppy, Luna clearly had a wonderful time staying with Leeeun and her family. They took Luna to places like trail and downtown, which was so thoughtful. It was clear that Luna was very well cared for. We would absolutely book with Leeeun again and highly recommend her.”
“Zicheng’s family did a great job watching our dog! They allowed us to come over to meet them and their dog Kennedy before we made a decision. While we were gone, they stayed in contact with us and sent a lot of cute pictures and videos. They tracked the potty schedule of my dog and let me know. They let my dog sleeping with them to make her feel like home. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable at their home. Would definitely recommend Zicheng and rebook with them!”
“Our dog Miso had a great time with Jihyun and her dog Tori. We feel very connected with frequent photo and video updates of Miso. Thank you for your help watching over Miso!”
“It looked like Ellie had a great time with Jenisa and family. Jenisa’s dog and Ellie got along great - that was one of the things that helped me engage Jenisa for the boarding experience - it would be a good doggie social experience for Ellie. I appreciated the photos and texts showing how things were going. Happy with the experience!”
About: I grew up caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and hamsters, which helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and love for animals. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, handling walks, feeding, and keeping them active and engaged. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog with the same care and attention as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which allows me to be flexible. I’m available Monday through Sunday, with morning and night availability from 6am - 10am and 5pm - 10pm. I care for pets by taking them on safe walks, following their feeding routine, and spending time playing with them. I make sure they’re comfortable, getting enough exercise, and sticking to their normal routine so they feel happy and secure.
“Stephen and his wife are by far the best dog sister on rover! Gave daily updates. I would recommend Stephen and his wife to anyone that wants peace of mind.”
North Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lauri was really great and took excellent care of our 8 month old puppy Benji! It was very easy to trust her with Benjis care! She made sure he had a lot of both physical and mental exercise throughout the day and shared regular updates. You can tell she is very passionate and knowledgable about pups. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect and is very flexible to accommodate their needs and development. She gave us a lot of tips and tricks after spending the weekend with Benji! Highly recommend Lauri! We are excited to keep working with her!
Irina was absolutely the best! She was fun, thoughtful and caring. Every single day, she sent a bunch of photos as well as a description of our dog’s day — exploring different parks, playing at home, snoozing on the couch together. She was also mindful of his quirks (recent leg surgery, wariness around other dogs), and she adjusted her plan accordingly. My family and I were so relieved to know that our pet was receiving such wonderful attention!
As this was our first time leaving our newly rescued dog, we were rather nervous. We chose Ivan because he offered consistent monitoring, freedom to explore outside and inside, and doggie playmates of similar size. The stay was even better than we could have hoped for and we were grateful for the daily pictures and regular communication. Our Sally was very well loved while we were gone.
Our dog had the BEST time with Saul this weekend. (I’m surprised she even wanted to come home!) He took her on so many adventures and took such great care of her - and sent loads of pics / updates so we could see all the fun they were having! There was no doubt in my mind that she was in excellent hands, and I know she can’t wait to go back to visit sometime soon!
Mario was excellent! We took our 7 month old puppy (Benji) to him for 3 days of boarding. It was the first time we had to board Benji and I'm very happy we chose Mario! Mario is super knowledgeable and took great care of our pup. It was clear Benji got a lot of attention and exercise throughout the weekend! We received a lot of updates and excellent pictures. Looking forward to working with Mario in the future. We highly recommend him!
Kelly has been a great sitter for Hopper (she loves her!) For this particular stay, my flight back home was delayed so I had to push out the pickup time for Hopper. Kelly was very kind to have Hopper stay longer and took care of her night routine well. Thank you Kelly!
Leeeeun and her family was so wonderful to our Bonnie. I received updates everyday, multiple times a day, and tons of photos! Communication was great and fast. Above of all, Bonnie really likes her and her family! I definitely will book with her again. As a matter of the fact, my boyfriend wants her to be our regular dog sitter.
Viola and Zach were terrific. Pepper had a wonderful stay with them and their sweet and affectionate dog Nuki! Viola and Zach were very attentive to Pepper’s needs and quirks. They asked great questions about his needs and care when we first met, and I felt very confident that Pepper would be an excellent hands. And he was. Nuki was also a great host, and the two dogs got along very well. Pepper adjusted quickly with them and was very happy and comfortable. I will definitely reach out again for future stays.
You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷
Kiara and her lovely family were truly amazing! We rarely leave our pup behind, but they gave her so much love while we were gone—we felt at peace being away! Very thankful for the care, the photos she sent, and the wonderful communication. Above all, grateful for taking such good care of an important member of our family! :)
I just picked up my dog Marvin after being away for the first time for 3 days. Marvin was happy and so well taken care of! Hikes, walks and lots of play time with their dog who Marvin loves!!! So happy I found Kaitlyn to take care of Marvin! Lots of pictures and videos sent so I knew how happy Marvin was! Thank you again Kaitlyn!!!
